In Never Say Die, 15-year-old Inuit hunter Nick Thrasher takes a trip downriver with his half-brother Ryan, who’s visiting Canada’s Arctic to photograph the caribou migration. But when disaster strikes, Nick is forced to survive alone in a landscape filled with dangerous predators. Most of all, he fears the terrifying “grolar bear”, the half-grizzly, half-polar-bear hybrid that isn’t supposed to exist - except Nick has seen it with his own eyes.

LOVE THIS BOOK
In fifth grade, we started to read this book but never finished it. I read on the last day of school and the read it 3 more times because I liked it so much. This is one of my favorite books of all time and think that everyone should read it.
